ovirt_disks - Module to manage Virtual Machine and floating disks in oVirt.

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

Module to manage Virtual Machine and floating disks in oVirt.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.7
  • ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.0.0

Options

parameter required default choices comments
auth
yes
Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
username[required] - The name of the user, something like `[email protected]`.
password[required] - The password of the user.
url[required] - A string containing the base URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`.
token - Token to be used instead of login with username/password.
insecure - A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.
ca_file - A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates. The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates. If `ca_file` parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used.
kerberos - A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication.
bootable
no
True if the disk should be bootable. By default when disk is created it isn't bootable.
format
no
  • raw
  • cow
Format of the disk. Either copy-on-write or raw.
id
no
ID of the disk to manage. Either id or name is required.
interface
no virtio
  • virtio
  • ide
  • virtio_scsi
Driver of the storage interface.
logical_unit
no
Dictionary which describes LUN to be directly attached to VM:
address - Address of the storage server. Used by iSCSI.
port - Port of the storage server. Used by iSCSI.
target - iSCSI target.
lun_id - LUN id.
username - CHAP Username to be used to access storage server. Used by iSCSI.
password - CHAP Password of the user to be used to access storage server. Used by iSCSI.
storage_type - Storage type either fcp or iscsi.
name
no
Name of the disk to manage. Either id or name/alias is required.
aliases: alias
poll_interval
no 3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
profile
no
Disk profile name to be attached to disk. By default profile is chosen by oVirt engine.
shareable
no
True if the disk should be shareable. By default when disk is created it isn't shareable.
size
no
Size of the disk. Size should be specified using IEC standard units. For example 10GiB, 1024MiB, etc.
state
no present
  • present
  • absent
  • attached
  • detached
Should the Virtual Machine disk be present/absent/attached/detached.
storage_domain
no
Storage domain name where disk should be created. By default storage is chosen by oVirt engine.
timeout
no 180
The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
vm_id
no
ID of the Virtual Machine to manage. Either vm_id or vm_name is required if state is attached or detached.
vm_name
no
Name of the Virtual Machine to manage. Either vm_id or vm_name is required if state is attached or detached.
wait
no
True if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Create and attach new disk to VM
- ovirt_disks:
    name: myvm_disk
    vm_name: rhel7
    size: 10GiB
    format: cow
    interface: virtio

# Attach logical unit to VM rhel7
- ovirt_disks:
    vm_name: rhel7
    logical_unit:
      target: iqn.2016-08-09.brq.str-01:omachace
      id: 1IET_000d0001
      address: 10.34.63.204
    interface: virtio

# Detach disk from VM
- ovirt_disks:
    state: detached
    name: myvm_disk
    vm_name: rhel7
    size: 10GiB
    format: cow
    interface: virtio

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Common Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
disk Dictionary of all the disk attributes. Disk attributes can be found on your oVirt instance at following url: https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/model#types/disk. On success if disk is found and C(vm_id) or C(vm_name) wasn't passed.
id ID of the managed disk On success if disk is found. str 7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
disk_attachment Dictionary of all the disk attachment attributes. Disk attachment attributes can be found on your oVirt instance at following url: https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/model#types/disk_attachment. On success if disk is found and C(vm_id) or C(vm_name) was passed and VM was found.

Notes

Note

In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.0.0
